It is undeniable that 3D printing technology is one of the best innovations in technology as it allows printing of objects that can be readily used. As time pass, various 3D printing developments emerged as more and more designers and engineers expressed their interest in the technology. It is not surprising that three-dimensional printing has gone a long way and its applications even surpassed mere prototypes, which it is intended for. The projects created through 3D printing technology are unbelievably amazing.
Applications for 3D printing technology already encompasses various industry including construction, biomedicine, aerospace, fashion, and many others. The ideas for new projects using 3D printing machines are endless!
As mentioned, new developments in this technology were born as engineers arrive at new concepts for projects. This includes the printing of large scale objects including a steel bridge which was made with the aid of a welding robot. Aside from that, rocket engine SuperDraco of Space X was 3D printed and it was already launched many times. Who would think that you can actually 3D print a bridge and a rocket?
New methods also arise like the Continuous Liquid Interface Production wherein it used a pool of liquid photopolymer resin. From this liquid, a 3D object in monolithic form can emerge. There is also a mobile-activated 3D print technology and direct metal printing.
3D printing also plays a role in improving the lives of the people since it is used to create implants and prosthetics. Bionics that allow paralyzed people to walk again was made possible through 3D printing. After scanning the body of the patient, perfectly fit suits are developed for improved human mobility.
Indeed, 3D print technology has improved over the years. It became a promising tool to create more innovative products that can be a catalyst for change in this world.
